I went home after a week. I saw him sitting on the sofa in our living room. The man who always called me every morning is really in front of me. He's handsome. The man who I secretly admired when I was in college is a hand reach to me.
I stood in front of the TV and he's watching documentary shows.
"What are you doing? I'm watching!" He said with mix of annoyance. I secretly smiled.
"Excuse me okay? " I said to him without turning my head towards him.
"Faster. Tsk, what an annoying human being!"
He exclaimed in low voice.
"What did you say?" I walked towards him. I handed him the black card.
"What did you buy?" He asked me.
"Nothing." I lied.
"What?"
"Hmm. I don't know how to use."
"What?"
"Yeah. Let's just wait until you fully recover "
"When is that?" He sounds sarcastic. I hit his shoulder.
"You sound pessimistic!"
"I am."
"This Christmas my boss will celebrate with us together with his family "
"What?"
"Yeah. So we have to prepare good foods."
"Are they kind?"
"Yeah,of course. They are."
"Can I stay in the room?"
"No. You can't. They would ask you who are you."
"Okay. I'll try."
We watched together the show. Sometimes I glanced at him. He's in deep thoughts. I feel I was still in my dreams. I can't imagine I am living my dreams right now. But what if he remembers everything,will he change? He would go back as cranky,cold and serious person.
I looked at him. He was leaning on the headrest on the sofa and sleep. He was sleeping peacefully.
What would he react if he can see his family?
I pretended I don't know him. I tried my best to do it.
"Hey,go to the room if you want to sleep."
"Don't disturb me."
"This is living room not a bedroom."
He got up and went to the room where he occupied for the meantime and at the same time it's my room too.
My mother approached me.
"Belle,I know you knew something already."
"Ma,he's the son of my boss. I didn't know him because we never met before. He always called but only he's voice I heard."
"So are you going to tell him?"
"No,I let him discover who is he. By the way,Ma,they are coming to our house this Christmas. Is that fine?"
"Oh yeah. No problem. The more the merrier. What should we prepare?"
"Just simple they are not choosy anyway "
"Okay,I remember that "
I continued to watch his documentary show.
Then I began to feel sleepy. I slowly lay down on the sofa. I was almost in the wonderland when I feel someone is kicking the couch. I opened my eyes. I saw his face.
"Hey,this is not the bedroom." He said.
I got up and punch his stomach then headed to my parents room. He's now trying to revenge at me. I can feel he's almost similar to real Raven.
"Oh,annoying."
I slept and tried to forget everything what is happening around me. It was like a strong force was following me and he always comes to the path I take.

At ten,I woke up and headed to the kitchen. I saw him kneading a dough. My eyebrow creased. What is he doing?
"I thought you don't know how to cook."
"I practiced. I searched on how to make a croissant. I tried to make it." He said.
"Really? Your family might be surprised when they see you cooking." I said while drinking the water in my water bottle.
"Really? What about Isabella?" He said.
"Me?"
"No not you. I feel we can't be compatible. So not in my past life I would like you."
I punched his arms again.
"You're too much."
"Why? I'm being honest here. Our attitudes will collide." He said.
"Yeah,I think so too. And I would never glance at you." I replied. He put a flour on my nose.
"You're too much too."
I wiped the flour on my nose. 
"She might be happy." I said to him.
I was still thinking who is that Isabella. Is that me? Oh C'mon, Isabella,you are not the only person in the world.
"What are you thinking?" He asked me.
"Nothing."
"Why don't you like to go home before? Mom told me you came home very rare."
"I'm busy so that's why!"
"She told me you wanted to become a doctor. After your benefactor died,you work too hard."
"Yeah,I have to."
" Have you studied medicine before?"
"Yeah,just in third year."
"Really? Do you want to study again?" He said.
"Hmm,yeah. I want to do it again."
"Maybe its difficult."
He said. Not knowing that he is already a doctor. My heart got heavier looking at him. Should I tell him that he is a doctor?
He continued to make a small round shape and raisin in it. The other group he made the croissant shape.
I feel my tears is about to fall. I feel pity on him.
"Why is your face turns red?" He told me. He stared at me.
"Do you want to cry?" He then added.
I shook my head. I walked towards the oven.
"I'm fine." I said to him.
"Belle, you can tell me what's bothering you."
"Nothing. I just remember someone else."
"What?"
"Yeah. I feel sad."
"Who? Harrison?"
"No. He is happy already."
"Really? "
"Yeah. He has someone already. They have engagement ring already."
"What? They are getting married?"
"Maybe."
"Then why are you sad?"
"Because he doesn't know that I'm here loving him secretly." I said and was crying already. I just made up a story so that I have a reason to do it in front of him. He pricked my forehead.
"Are you crazy? Is he the only person in the world?"
"I like him."
" You're crazy!"
"Should I tell him?"
"No! Don't tell him. Tsk,I'm having headaches because of you Belle."
"Sorry!"
"Why don't you forget him?"
"I can't!"
"Arrghhh! Keep quiet!" He said. I wiped my tears. He put the dough on the pan and put it on the oven. He walked towards me and suddenly enclosed me in his arms.
I'm sorry. I lied to you.

I closed my eyes. He tapped my back to comfort me. He's not the real Raven I know. The real Raven is a cold and annoying person but this man is so sweet and thoughtful one. How I wish he would never change when he can remember everything.
